This recording shows why Deepak Chopra is considered one of the great
pioneers in the field of mind-body medicine. Here he offers compelling
answers to the eternal questions of identity, origin, and meaning.
Chopra's thesis is that people rely on their senses to define their
experience of reality — limiting their experience of the material world
and making them prisoners, out of touch with realities that lie beyond
the material. He explains that there is no difference between observer
and observed; it is all one shared experience. Realizing this truth,
says Chopra, frees people from their sensory-created prison to
experience a more nurturing and fulfilling life.

The author's calm, uplifting voice gives these ideas heft and power,
and his inclusion of relaxed guitar interludes let listeners pause to
contemplate more deeply. Chopra expands the discussion by citing T. S.
Eliot, Nietzsche, Rumi, Tagore, and Patanjali, as well as scientific
experiments and spiritual texts.
